Consider Contemplative Pedagogy to Support Student and Faculty Well-being

Recommendation
I like the compactness and practicality of this introduction to contemplative pedagogy and that it reminds us not only of the need to attend to the wellbeing of students but also of faculty. Some of the resources are a bit dated but they remain staples of the movement, which peaked roughly a decade ago.
One area in which caring for our well-being and supporting a dynamic learning environment converge is in the use of contemplative practices in our teaching. Contemplative practices offer a space in which instructors and students can be fully present in the learning experience, it values not only the content that is covered but also the human beings that are part of the process.
